Fairhope's Robert Parmar played his way into the match-play portion of the U.S. Senior Amateur championship on Monday, then played his way into the second round of match-play in the afternoon.

Like several players, Parmar was unable to finish his second round of stroke play Sunday because of darkness. Play was suspended on the first day of play Saturday because of rain and eventually play was suspended because of unplayable conditions at Wade Hampton Golf Club in Cashiers, N.C. That pushed play back for the second round.

When the 36-hole stroke-play portion was completed Monday, Parmar was tied for 34th place, earning one of the 64 spots in the match-play portion. Seeded No. 34, Parmar played well in his match against No. 31 seed Larry Daniels of Seattle, Wash., winning 6&5 and advancing to Tuesday's second round.

At 8:04 a.m. CDT, Parmar will face No. 2 seed Jack Hall of Sea Island, Ga. The two players are familiar with each other -- they were in the same threesome during the two rounds of stroke play. If Parmar defeats Hall, he will advance to the third round of match play Tuesday afternoon with a tee time of 1:10 p.m. CDT.

Parmar is the only player from Alabama left in the tournament. Daphne's Hamp Andrews was disqualified for singing an incorrect scorecard and Birmingham's Mike Greer, who made it to match play, lost his first match to Mike Poe of Athens, Tenn., 5&4.
